Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare, benign, non-secreting tumour composed of adipose and haematopoietic tissue. One such rare case in a 32-year-old female who presented with'pain in right lumbar region is reported here. CT scan revealed a mass in the suparenal region measuring 5.6 x 5 cm. In view of the size and symptomatic nature of the mass, surgical resection was performed. Histological examination revealed the features of myelolipoma. The outcome was favourable without recurrence after a follow-up of one year.
